if possible without forking extra money to get a more powerful adapter, why not

there's one shop in Subang Jaya selling some performance notebook stuff, not sure if they sell mobile GPU as well.Found the shop name, ModernoPC, not selling mobileGPU haha "

Nearest would be Mucro which seems to be selling at their website (although, weird thing is that there got a page of Mobile GPU, but I'm seeing no products at all~)

eyyh. DHL uses Pos Laju eventually aa? wow, talk about a multinational courier service which even got its own airplane.

oh. been a few weeks, no random freeze seen. only issue is with driver 267.76, Dragon Age 2 will sometimes hang. but nothing wrong when I played other games (Crysis 2, Metro 2033/ WoW / Transformers / Civ5).

Even right now, my laptop has been on for more than a day (System uptime reports 1:02:51:28).

me, and i'm not really sure if it's either customs or FedEx (since in the USPS document, it stated that the courier they used was FedEx). But anyway, they went all to way to sending it at 10 pm haha. Really 1st class job wan

note that LPC-digital actually used USPS only wor (similar to PosLaju, but this is US wan, US Postal Service). Luckily for International Express, they mentioned the Exporting Carrier to be FedEx Express

for this case, suprisingly a multinational carrier (DHL) is using local/national carrier (PosLaju).

No tax of anykind. Shipping costs covered right from US till Penang (my house). Lucky us, notebooks (or it should be a full package computer system) are tax-free. Only for computer parts, I believe you need to pay the tax.

@cyrogenist : I know some are saying about the random freezes, but I still doubt it happen to the 2nd batches of Sandy Bridge. At least not mine (more than 1 day uptime, actually it was more than 1 day but I kept installing certain things which required a reboot haha). Also, RAM is cheaper in SG/MY? Doubt so. At least not MY, since MY is one of those HPC-listed countries, whereby the price is higher than normal.

KVR1333 DDR3 SoDIMM in PCDepot Malaysia = RM145
KVR1333 DDR3 SoDIMM in newegg.com = USD 49.99 == RM136.

8GB DDR3 1333 (2x4GB) (+$90.00) << Taken from LPC-Digital.

So if you buy the pre-slotted RAM, it should be cheaper since there's no tax if you buy them altogether with the laptop

this was the original post : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=41339793

wait till you earn you own money

wonder if they give you free game samples then (who knows, maybe for research) like Crysis 2 or Dragon Age 2. Walaowei if got like that I was to enroll to that uni~.

maybe u nid to do the same. non-stop spamming over mucro's email (hopefully the fella representing mucro in LYN doesn't read diz

Shipping cost varies from one country to another.


For payment, most company would use PayPal, while some uses Wire Transfer. But the easiest would be PayPal since you just need to link it to your credit card (or can even use RHB PayPal method).

No worries about the questions, as TS will usually pickup new Questions and put it at 1st post. So in a way, you're helping others by asking questions (so long that you have read the FAQ at 1st post and don't repeat the questions )

Added on April 7, 2011, 3:20 pmWho knows, maybe being a gaming institute, they actually give you chance to try major games (more like Beta version, but internal Beta version lor with maybe some NDA between the game company and your uni in case someone pirate the Beta~)

wow. cheaper transportation cost from RJTECH. Well, not sure but could be that for my case, LPC-Digital was sending from Nevada. Maybe that's why mahal a bit (although the shipping cost was less than $100, but wat to do, reseller oso want to carik makan~)

agreed though. the only thing you need to be careful is that the edges might be a lil bit sharp compared to other laptops la. but wat would you expect, this is like a Saga BLM on outside, but got Ferrari engine inside it.

agreed. I've been playing Crysis 2 at 1080p Extreme resolution, FPS is at 20-24.

Usually we're being underestimated due to having more powerful brother (485m, or even the AMD HD6970m), while people tend to forget that 460m is still a GTX class and not GT

which comes to a point that it is still possible to use the 180W adapter on NP8130 (under assumption that the battery code between NP8130 and NP8150 seems to be the same).

I know some people at NBR said about some thermal solution that could also affect any kind of GPU upgrade to NP8130, but from the looks at XoticPC video review on NP8130 and NP8150, looks like the design is exactly the same.

So, someone could try this (I would but not now, planning to buy the adapter when I'm in US later in the coming 1-2 months)

i like (until nVidia releases the GTX 5 series, only then the stakes would have changed)

just for anyone who wanted to see performance from GTX 460M -> HD 6970M -> GTX485M (more people would be interested in 6970M vs 485M, I believe )

if I'm correct a matte option has always been there at Sager's website, but resellers sometimes just doesn't give that option.

Is it being built right now or being sent from Sager to Mucro? If still being built, possible la. If being sent from Mucro, no idea wor~

dude.

chillax. your item will arrive one
